For immediate release

Vienna, 18.12.2006 --- Casinos Austria International today announced that it will be launching its brand new Exhibition Lounge (Stand #3050) at the International Casino Exhibition (ICE) 2007 from 23-25 January 2007 in Earls Court 2, London.

"ICE is one of the world's premier exhibitions for gaming and gambling professionals and the ideal venue for Casinos Austria International to launch its new state-of-the-art Exhibition Lounge," said CEO Paul Herzfeld.

"The new Exhibition Lounge has been designed to offer us the greatest flexibility in our exhibition and trade fair appearances and will be a valuable addition to our international expansion and branding strategies," he added.

The lounge can be individually branded and set up either as a regular open exhibition stand or as a closed private area. This dual concept enables Casinos Austria International to present its services in a highly professional and modern setting, yet at the same time create an air of mystery. It will be also be available to other companies in the Casinos Austria Group as well as to the 75 operations in the Casinos Austria International casino network.

"As a leading international casino consulting, development, management and investment company, we have no actual physical products to display on an exhibition stand and instead need a more select, private area where we can meet with invited guests, journalists and clients," explained Herzfeld.
